I went to pick up a pizza tonight from the local pizza joint, and there were a bunch of old people standing in the entrance area waiting for their elderly friend to.pay, and when I opened the door one of the old women jumped like I had screamed at her or something, apparently the air pressure change when I opened the door startled her. Anyway, her husband grabbed her and gave me a dirty look.

They're already about to die, they might as well take an airplane full of people with them.

Fortunately, they won't be able to figure out how to set the timer on the detonator. Then you'll have some old guy next to you complaining that the clock attached to his stick of dynamite is flashing 12:00.

FTFA"It gives our officers more time to focus on those who present more of a threat,"

Translation: This is one of many meaningless aspects of our security theater that has caused a great deal of strife for our public relations so we're going to do away with it for the loudest complainers, but BOOGA BOOGA BOOGA everyone's still potentially a terrorist who will kill you without our incompetent apes protecting you by violating your basic human rights and stealing your valuables. You're welcome.

And for our next trick we'll give a bunch of uneducated people a low-paying job that gives them ultimate power over the general public and let's see what happens...

My disabled wife was forced out of her wheelchair to stagger through a scanner, then we had to pry off her orthotics so they could give them a cursory glance while a bunch of disinterested fat-asses sat around chatting about how much they'd eaten for breakfast. It was like something out of "Brazil"

TSA are generally unreachable scum....apparently their PR as well - why would they "announce" this? Just make the subtle change in the interest of efficiency, nobody would really notice and nobody would really complain...

The TSA suck from beginning to end. There is absolutely nothing they have done that warrants their existence. If they have accomplished anything besides annoy the general public and slow airline traffic to the point no one *wants* to fly, I challenge anyone to show where and when their existence made a positive difference.

I challenge *anyone* to provide credible proof that they have accomplished anything aside from sucking the bone marrow funding of taxes from Americans that can least afford it.

Those are things!

Now pay up!

Thankfully I caught you while you are young.

Peanut butter is more than a flavor, a kiss can mean more than a kiss, and the as$holes that claim to want to be there in your best interests are there to impart their penis in your favorite place.

But thankfully, I was able to help you understand that is the situation.

Please... Listen to your own internal heart, and don't allow the bastids to invade your life.
